RANZCO is on a mission to make sure our Congress is held in an environmentally sustainable way. From the way we choose our venue partners, to the food we provide, we are taking a collaborative approach.
In 2024, RANZCO delegates helped plant over 1,100 local trees in South Australia. Building on this success, RANZCO 2025 is proud to support TreeProject Voctoria. Donate a tree (or ten!) via the Congress registration form and help restore healthy, sustainable and indigenous ecosystems to the Victorian landscape. You can also donate by visiting the Sustainability Booth in the Trade Hall.
We encourage you to play a part in a sustainable future by bringing a water bottle to refill.
Certificates of Attendance will be sent via email after the conclusion of the Congress.
If you require further information please contact the Congress Office.
